Chapter 109 Biology Class (Part 1)
A huge sunroom is embedded in a sunken area. Sunlight radiates through the transparent glass surface, creating a rainbow halo.
The entire sunroom is a regular rectangular parallelepiped, with hexagonal to octagonal auxiliary areas extending downward from the four vertices. It resembles a building dedicated to energy production in a sci-fi game, or a fruit greenhouse with multiple layers of filters in an agricultural film.
Chen Xiao'er leaned on the railing and looked down, sighing, "Is that a greenhouse? There must be a lot of things growing in there."
"Yeah." Zero's gaze froze on her cute little expression for a few seconds, and he raised his hand and pointed to the octagonal area next to him.
"There are many rare plants in it. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. The teachers are always recruiting pickers."
[“There are many rare and unusual plants in there. If you’re interested, you can help the janitor pick them.”]
"Oh, no need." Chen Xiao'er smiled embarrassedly, turned her head to look for the elevator, but only saw a "No Entry" sign.
"Go this way." Ling patted her shoulder and gestured for her to look back.
Chen Xiao'er walked forward a few steps and found that there was a parallel corridor behind the elevator, and at the end of the corridor there was a whole slide!
There's actually a slide? Chen Xiao'er's eyes lit up, and she excitedly rushed to the slide and put her legs down.
"Be careful." Ling reached out and held her wrist, and put his other hand on her shoulder.
Chen Xiao'er blushed, turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay~ I used to..."
Distant memories flashed through her mind, and her voice gradually fell and then rose again cheerfully: "I've always wanted to play on a slide, and I didn't expect there would be one here. It's really great!"
Zero stared at the girl's happy smile, and the place where his wrist and palm touched felt slightly warm.
She reluctantly looked away and checked Xiao'er's waist and legs first: both of them were sitting properly in the slide, with the soles of their shoes pointing downwards smoothly, so there should be no problem sliding down in this position.
"Wait, I'll push you." If anything happens, I will protect you immediately.
"Okay~" Chen Xiao'er smiled and put her legs together, facing forward.
Ling gently held her shoulders, which were trembling with excitement, and gave her a light push as Xiao'er shouted "Start~".
The girl's black hair fluttered in the wind. The apostle looked at her back and whispered, "That's great."
…
Souhu~
"Wa ...
Wind - the wind is so strong~~
Chen Xiao'e closed her eyes and felt the wind. She opened her arms and rushed down, circling the pillar several times in just over ten seconds, finally rushing towards a large expanse of green grass.
Whoosh~Pahsa.
The body flew high up, but fell into a warm embrace as it fell.
"Zero?!" Xiao'er opened her eyes wide. Wasn't the senior standing behind her? How could she have run down there?
"~" Zero seemed to smile briefly, she held her and spun half a circle, then gently put her on the ground.
Looking at Chen Xiao'er's rolling eyes, she calmly explained, "I jumped directly down, so it was faster."
Oh, I see. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. It would be faster if I jumped down—but what the heck!
Chen Xiao'er glanced at the high platform, then immediately turned around and knocked Ling's shoulder hard, screaming softly, "Really?! Next time, don't slide down the stairs or jump directly!!"
Ling didn't say yes or no. He stretched out his hands and gently hugged her, letting her knock left and right.
Chen Xiao'er blushed after knocking twice. She stood on tiptoe and touched her senior sister's cheek, then took Ling's hand again.
"Let's go, let's go. Standing here will block the students behind us."
"Yeah." Ling turned her head and looked at the girl from this angle. Her cheeks were slightly puffed up, which made her feel inexplicably touched.
Chen Xiao'er didn't notice the gazes beside her, her eyes were completely attracted by a large warm lawn.
The light shining on it was like real sunlight, hot and golden...pasha.
Ah, don't step on the lawn.
Chen Xiao'er quickly took a few steps back. She wanted to take another cement road, but when she looked left and right, she saw only a whole piece of fluffy, bright-colored grass.
"What's wrong?" Ling squeezed her hand.
Chen Xiao'er quickly pointed at the lawn and explained, "I'm looking for a path. You're not allowed to step on such a beautiful lawn casually." Specially cultivated turf is very expensive.
After hearing her words, Ling took a step forward and stomped twice on the lawn.
"We can walk directly on it. These blades of grass are specially planted by the school. No matter how much we step on them, they won't become bald."
"We can go directly from above. This low-level anomaly has been completely domesticated by the school and poses almost no danger."
It’s so good?
Since Ling had already stepped on it, Chen Xiao'er also stretched out her foot and stepped on it twice.
The grass rustled under my feet, and the touch was soft and crisp, so comfortable.
Her right hand loosened while she jumped. Ling walked over and held it again, letting Xiao'er lean on her and stagger forward.
The girl skipped around on the lawn, humming softly.
Zero compared the humming sound with the database in his mind, but couldn't find the corresponding music.
[Very nice]
She turned her face to the side and recorded the images and notes at the moment one by one.
......
As they continued walking forward, the scenery on both sides changed.
Colorful bushes appeared in the low lawn, and on both sides, there were racks made of wood and alloy for vines and grapes to climb, with thin and thick green vines hanging from them.
Snap, snap, snap.
Chen Xiao'er turned her head and found that several classmates were walking quickly next to her, their legs moving very fast.
There were a few classmates farther away, not sure if they were showing off or posing, but they wrapped themselves in vines and stood motionless under the rack, staring at them as they passed by.
Chen Xiao'er was stunned. A classmate who ran over said casually, "Don't worry about it. They will leave when the school workers come."
"Don't worry, it's not dangerous. The school union will come to help before the anomaly begins to dissipate."
What? Are you really just showing off?
Chen Xiao'er laughed out of anger: If I were a gardener, I would definitely get high blood pressure if I saw this kind of funny guy every day!
She let go of Ling's hand and trudged over, hands on her hips, to confront the group of students. They remained unmoved, still standing there, acting like puppets.
Okay, I won’t spoil you.
Chen Xiao'er reached out to pull away the vines, then grasped the first student's shoulder and pushed him hard: "Alright, alright, stop standing there. You're hurting the plants."
She slapped them from left to right, hitting them with every strike. Perhaps these people still had some dignity left, as they cowered and ducked their heads as soon as she started. One person simply muttered a "thank you."
Chen Xiao'er returned to her senior sister, feeling both amused and helpless. She leaned against her tiredly, "Huh~ I'm so tired. These people are really..."
Ling raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face and asked calmly, "Are you tired?"
"Tired~" Chen Xiao'er rubbed her shoulders coquettishly, and her body suddenly felt lighter.
Her legs were instantly in the air, and her forehead unconsciously raised: her long silver hair moved in the wind, and Zero tilted her face and smiled slightly.
"Okay, I'll hold you."
…
Squeak~
"Open the door, open the door!" The students rushed through the metal gate like a flock of sheep, and many of them lay on the ground gasping for breath.
Ling's tall figure was also mixed in. She walked into the door slowly like dancing a waltz, and then gently put down the girl in her arms.
Chen Xiao'er awkwardly gripped the ground with her toes. Fortunately, there were beautiful flowers and plants all around, and no one noticed their explosive entrance posture.
She took a deep breath and began to observe the botanical garden like her classmates.
Rows of geometrically arranged glass houses are nestled in spacious vegetation, surrounded by a variety of leaf veins, creating either bright or quiet atmospheres.
The perfunctory mood gradually dissipated, and Chen Xiao'e couldn't help but walk forward, unconsciously stepping onto a cobblestone sidewalk. The fences on both sides of her were just above her knees, and outside the fences, the dwarf camellias were in full bloom.
The farther away the flowers are, the more gorgeous they appear, and you can vaguely see the two-color peonies with a fluorescent effect.
It's daytime now, but it can actually show a fluorescent effect under the light?
Chen Xiao'er was itching to try it, but unfortunately the peony was surrounded by a guardrail and a special glass cover. There was also a golden warning sign "Do Not Touch" hanging on the metal frame of the glass, which showed that it was a rare species.
Forget it, I'd better not go over there. If I knock off the bud, I'll at least get a warning.
Not only Chen Xiao'er, but all the classmates also started walking very quietly.
Not to mention the uncivilized behavior of running into the vines, after they walked onto the gravel road, they were pressed close to each other, looking even closer than she and her senior.
Everyone walked through the flower arch in a peaceful atmosphere, with a mist-like vapor mixed with light hitting their faces.
Chen Xiao'er opened her eyes, wiping away the water droplets. A glazed door, shimmering with light, slowly opened.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The pleasant sound of wind chimes came from the radio, and she and her senior schoolmate had walked to the front of the team without knowing when.
A silver-haired student council member stood in front of the glass door. She nodded slightly at Ling and moved aside very naturally.
"Hello, senior." Chen Xiao'er muttered softly and walked into the glass door next to Ling.
The dome inside is unusually high, inlaid with many layers of artistically treated fences, with a vine of a different color hanging down from time to time, like strands of wisteria.
Click.
What was that sound? She lowered her head and realized it was the crackling of the floor tiles: the floor tiles were hard and had a matte finish, like some kind of special glass.
What is the significance of this design?
Chen Xiao'er lowered her head and took a few steps, and seemed to understand a little bit: the floor tiles would emit a little vague light when stepped on, which might be the conversion of kinetic energy into light energy. In case of a power outage, it would not step out of the boundary and damage the precious flowers and plants.
At the same time, they stick to the ground tightly, not allowing even a blade of grass to pass through the gaps.
Weeds are very tenacious. If they break through one or two tiles, the overall cleanliness cannot be maintained.
“Huh~”
Surrounded by green plants, Chen Xiao'er took a deep breath, pumping the fresh air into her lungs.
"Meow..." A delicate response came from the feet.
There are cats!
She opened her eyes suddenly and immediately spotted a small calico cat crouching in the grass, with only the tip of its tail sticking out and twitching.
You are so cute~
Chen Xiao'er felt her heart pound. She darted out, fluttering through the grass—Little Sanhua had feathers! It was a feathered cat!
“Mee, mee!”
The calico kitten, upon seeing the giant, immediately revealed a grieved expression, its fur standing on end, and it arched its back towards her. The two small, pure white feathers on its back all puffed up, gently flapping like wings.
The "Biological Encyclopedia" was not deceiving, there actually were angelic creatures like feathered cats - thinking of the pages of exquisite and lovely species that were as gorgeous as fantasy creatures in the back of the "Encyclopedia", her heart beat violently, and she simply loved this beautiful world.
"Chirp chirp~"
Chen Xiao'er stretched out her two claws and circled the kitten in her palms, squeezing it tightly.
"Meow?!"
The little kitten struggled hard, trying to use its little paws to get rid of the scary monster.
"Hehe~Baby, it's useless~Hehehe."
Chen Xiao'er squatted in the grass and rubbed it twice, and her smile suddenly disappeared: Wait, did I... jump over the fence?
Cold sweat broke out on her face and she slowly turned around.
The classmates stood in the fence, watching her kneading the kitten with an embarrassed, surprised and polite expression.
Senior Sister Zero was still standing beside her, but she had one hand blocking her from throwing the kitten away, as if to prevent her from throwing it away.
Gurgle.
Chen Xiao'er swallowed and asked softly, "Um, does the school not allow us to chase small animals in the garden?"
Yes, yes, the students nodded vigorously.
Chen Xiao'er silently let go of the kitten, and it scurried away into the bushes and disappeared.
She trudged back to the group, bowing her head and apologizing, "I'm sorry. I was so excited to see the kitten that I forgot the school rules say 'No climbing over fences or warning signs without permission.' I'm so sorry."
The students looked at each other in confusion.
Finally, Ling patted her shoulder gently and said calmly, "It's okay, you can do this."
"But the rules..."
"Rules are made for other people."
Is that really a good thing to say? It's completely biased.
Chen Xiao'er looked up in surprise. Ling's expression was very calm. Someone behind him muttered, "Yeah, classmate Chen, you don't have to apologize. You can order whatever you want."
Is this a mockery of me? A strange feeling welled up in my chest.
Just as Chen Xiao'er was about to turn around, she heard someone in front of her shout, "The professor is here!"
She breathed a sigh of relief and put the little unhappiness behind her.
I need to study hard first. Biology should be pretty easy. As long as I perform better, everyone will gradually accept me.
